Description provided by One Last Hand on YouTube:

Welcome back to One Last Hand. Today we’re starting Time Troopers with Episode 1: Night Along The Nile. If you enjoyed this episode and want to watch the next episode before public release, consider becoming a YouTube Member. This is a narrative campaign playthrough, so we begin with the story setup, explain the core systems as we play, and work through the first mission in Ancient Egypt. You can find the full Time Troopers playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiRsH-oyKFlpJgQ0xOIn8aj3vlXf4ubqc Time Troopers is a solo campaign game about travelling into the past, building a squad, managing time tokens, and trying to recover artifacts before rival factions can control the future. In this episode, we move through the city streets, keep the guards under control, search the location cards, and try to find the temple before too many troopers are defeated. In this video we focus on: - Starting the Time Troopers campaign - Mission 1.1: Night Along The Nile - Learning the combat and deployment zones - Managing time tokens - Searching the location cards - Unlocking new trooper cards RULE GOOFS / HOUSE RULES A few notes for the series: - We are missing five event cards from the deck: C15 to C19. We only realise this in Episode 5. - We add a house rule allowing us to mulligan our drawn hand if it would otherwise create a stalemate where we cannot get cards into combat, or where the squad is effectively doomed in the first round. - We add a house rule allowing attack die rerolls. If we miss, or if an enemy hits, we can spend 1 time token to reroll the attack die. - We will attempt each mission 1–3 times on video. If we still do not succeed, we will read the exfil and move on with the story. The balance in the game seems a little uneven, so this keeps the campaign moving while still showing the attempts.
